I patiently filled out all the questions... there were pages and pages! But as we all know, you get better averages when there are more answers to analyze. So... I persevered and got to the end. Mind you, this was right after my divorce, and my emotional state was a little off! When I got done, and made my little check marks beside the qualities I felt I had to have.... my result? "No matches within 300 miles." Now THAT made me laugh my ass off! and then feel sad and depressed. Am I that particular? that unwilling to compromise? that darn picky???
So. Once again, I have changed my descriptions in my POF file, looking to see what comes in the next round of ...... fishies in the sea. lol Because it's a back and forth written venue at first, its weird that a person is judged on what and how they write. Maybe, and maybe not, it has nothing to do with how they think, but ... a person who's well read should be able to type sentences --- U R cute doesn't cut it with me! Maybe I'm too old fashioned.
As of now, I'm not feeling too "connected" to any of the five who have taken the time to write to me. When I mentioned I liked hikes and walks in the park, one wrote back that it would have to be slow walks, as he walks with a limp. Would I feel as if that holds me back? I am used to going through life at a faster than leisurely pace.
Another went back to visit his mother -- at the same time, was having all of his teeth and a jawbone removed and "repaired" then getting dentures as his family suffers from a strange form of rickets. So, would I be offended because someone wears dentures? I say not normally, but how often one goes without them would be the issue. I also wonder if he's hopped up on some pain killers right now... he keeps calling me 'babe'. hehehe
Another one asked if I was interested in relocating to Colorado. Sorry. No, I'm here to stay.
Can a person be too picky?
I keep asking myself that question.
I'll give you another weird example. I have a co-worker who wears the latest expensive glasses, and tennis shoes. But yet his car .... ugh. It's got a bashed in fender - and appears to have been this way for years! The interior is trashed. To look at him, you wouldn't think he is the type of person to not keep his car in a presentable condition. I'm not saying I am SO picky that a guy needs to drive the latest and greatest sports car, luxury car, or even a new truck. But I think it's OK to be picky enough that I need to date a man who takes care of his things. If he treats his car that way.... how will he treat me ??????
I'm just ramblin', just sayin'.
If you have other thoughts, drop me a line!
I could use some valuable dating advice re: where to draw the line in the sand!!
